Jewish group accepts Smith's statement on Hitler

A Jewish group said tonight it accepts Will Smith’s explanation that he never praised Adolf Hitler in remarks the star says were misinterpreted.

“We welcome and accept Will Smith’s statement that Hitler was a ’vicious killer’ and that he did not mean for his remarks about the Nazi leader to be mistaken as praise,” Abraham Foxman, national director of the US Anti-Defamation League, said in a statement.
